Jay-Z and Will Smith have combined their forces again and created a new venture that will produce and develop films. No word on the name of the entity, but the tandem plan to bring Annie to the big screen starring Will’s daughter, Willow. According to Hov:
“The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified vision. We’ve already produced a Tony Award winning play and we’re developing a true superstar in Willow. This venture into film development and production is a perfect next step with teams that are accomplished, creative, and innovative.”

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
BANGERS N MASH!
these guys keep winning…
That’s Big Chips. Hov a boss.
Jay-Z = Genius..”Think,focus and envision.” capturingthoughtz.com @thoughtzcrew
THAT’S A GOOD LOOK!!!! MAYBE WE’LL FINALLY SEE SOME MORE POSITIVE IMAGES OF BLACK PEOPLE ON FILM AND TV!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
all rappers make fucking stupid songs that they can never back up, but when Jay-Z did “On to the Next One”…..he lived up to every sentence. Keep winning.
So Ambitious.
WILL SMITH IS A BETTER RAPPER THAN JAY-Z :)
I’m glad there’s no hatin’ ass messages yet. That’s what we need out of Black people. The biggest hip hop artist and Mr. Blockbuster coming together again.
incredible.
seems like 50 jay and diddy still making the biggest moves.
i like the idea alot, but willow? really. stop shoving her down our throats
Finally, an alternative to Tyler Perry’s coon fest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is serious money. Hov keeps on winning in every way possible, he’s showing us all what success really means. And damn, everybody loves Will.
& niggas say Nas won the beef
Illuminati shit goin on right here mane!
Will Smith > Denzel Washington
Will Smith best African American Actor period. Partnering with him WILL be a highly sucessful move. But will, fuck a Men In Black III. Just gimme Bad Boys III I guess and make some more original movies. I hate when movies stretch all the way to a part III unless its a planned trilogy. Only Men In Black that was worth watching was the first one.
^
ur triping. “Malcolm X” >_______
and BB 2 sucked dick.
Yeah @Word, definitely tripping. Will Smith’s a great actor but Denzel’s on another level that very few are on.
@Dashing
How high are you? Will Smith is on an entirely dedicated level of his own that no one else can touch.
This is a monster move. It’s great to see the best of both worlds come together.
I read this and the only thing that registered was “Hard Knock Life Pt. 2?”
and @bjbsa- 1 song and a deal to do a movie that hasnt even started production yet qualifies as shoving her down our throats?
Denzel Washington > Will Smith, barely, but dont forget about Forrest Whittaker either dude can fuckin act. Plus Craig Robinson is killin the comedies.
Illuminati handshake
@ Word
U BUGGIN’ ON THIS ONE!!!! DENZEL’S BODY OF WORK SURPASSES WILL SMITH BY LIGHT YEARS!!!! IF U WATCH WILL SMITH’S FILMS, HE ALWAYS INCORPORATES HIS PERSONALITY TO ALL HIS MOVIE ROLES, AS OPPOSED TO DENZEL!!!! BUT I CAN SAY DENZEL’S RECENT FILMS HAVEN’T BEEN UP TO PAR WIT WILL SMITH’S FILMS!!!! BUT AS A BODY OF WORK, IT’S DENZEL BY A LANDSLIDE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@ Nucky Thompson
YEAH, CAN’T FORGET FORESST WHITAKER!!!! DUDE IS AN AMAZING ACTOR!!!! SAME GOES FOR LAURENCE FISHBURNE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Greatest rapper of all time, jay z is preety dope to
mr knowles stay pimping willow smdh
That is a weird handshake lol, looks like some royal shit.
Im with @Word will is the shit, “pursuit of happiness”, “Hancock”, “I am legend” and etc
Fuck that – pillow is weak, the fresh prince is weak.
i think as an actor Denzel is better but as far as how much money the movie makes Will wins that. never the less both men deserve to be well respected in the acting community.
Jay-z keeps winning! say what you want about him but the guy knows how to make money. he wants to be more then a rapper, he wants to be an icon
Denzel is a better actor hands down, Will Smith just has better movies.
“Hancock”, “I am legend”
^
were both trash
Will got better movies? Im not buying that one…Its your opinion no problem. Denzel is by far a better actor. This is a nice move with Jay n Will. Stop playing around and get started on BAD BOYS 3.
@Your mother’s “Friend”
He did. I didnt know they was competing for movie deals
@ZoomZoomDad-Otis
I meant to say better selling movies, as far as gross revenue Will got better movies. But we both already know who’s the better actor.
@B.Dot I respect your opinion, Denzel is a beast though
Nas lost……again.
Denzel>William. Stop it.
Denzel got classics allday son. “Devil in a Blue Dress”, “Philadelphia”, “The Pelican Brief”, “Ricochet”. Thats just a sample.

Denzel > Will
Will is good, Denzel is one of the best ever. His performance as Malcolm X is genius.
The power of Hip Hop!! From Brand New Funk to one of the biggest movie stars in the world. From Dead Presidents to the biggest rapper in the world. Shit is crazy
Insane. LOL @ Dame Dash. I don’t know why he comes to mind, but it’s just funny how he made it seem like HE was the brains behind Jay-Z.
Hurricane, Glory, Remember the titains, Training Day, Book of Eli. Need I say more I can go all day. Will a monster tho
[...] Will smith and Jay-Z have formed a filming partnership together. Apparently a new version of the hit Annie is being re-filmed and the actor playing her is none the less, Willow. Hum. We’ll make sure to keep you guys updated as more news of this develops. Props to RapRadar [...]
Y’all tripping!
Denzel last two movies were both trash. Unstoppable and Pelham 123. Both same concept anyway. And plus Will Smith as an actor can play many roles that Denzel can’t like the witty funny guy he usually incorporates. He can be emotional (Pursuit of Happiness, Seven Pounds) bad ass action hero (I Am Legend, Bad Boy) and makes movies with bad concepts look good just with his acting (Hancock). And plus Fresh Prince is a classic and arguably the best African American TV show PERIOD.
Denzel got more classics tho like Remember the Titans but I favor Will Smith. Both great actors tho no doubt.
And who said Forest? That nigga is ass. I don’t like not one Forest movie. Plus, I can’t take him serious in a lead role
Shady is a better actor than both combine!
Samuel L Jackson >>>> Forest Whittaker.
@B.Dot
Ali >>>>>> Malcolm X
Chill
1.Denzel Washington***2.Sidney Poitier***3.Will Smith
I fucks wit 50 and MONEY! But cool partnership non the less… willow is truly being forced on us
